The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley
Nationally syndicated radio host, newspaper columnist and bestselling author Jeremy Bradley heads into podcasting with this weekly download featuring celebrity guests, funny stories and entertaining chatter. The name of the program comes from the idea that sometimes the creative process includes scribbling down random ideas before you can make sense of anything. That's exactly what JB is doing every week on The Scribble.
Episodes
Age is something we can't escape. Jeremy Bradley talks about how people react and talk about their age. From dodging the subject (ahem, executive producer, Bonnie Winters) to attempting to be playful ("how old do you think I am?"), JB wonders why people don't just say the number without making it an issue. He talks about being 43 but not "looking" or "feeling" it and questions why people lie ...
Politics is a weird game. And, yes, Jeremy Bradley sees it as a game. And that's thanks to how American politicians are acting and operating (or not) every day. Never more have U.S. laws and regulations been disregarded, challenged, stomped on and overlooked -- depending on who you ask. One side says everything's on the up and up, while the other says Pres. Trump is defying rules and breaking laws. At the same time, he ge...
We always hear about how little service workers are paid because restaurants operate on such thin margins. Jeremy Bradley calls BS on that. Why? "Explain $14 less-than-full glasses of wine when I can buy an entire bottle for $4 at Trader Joe's," he says. "I'm paying $7 for a side of fries that equals one potato. Would you ever pay $7 for one potato?" Yes, factor in the prep time (if potatoes are cut in...
When your partner goes out of town and you have the house to yourself, is there a sense of loneliness or a sense of freedom? Or, is there a third option? Laziness. Jeremy Bradley talks about his laziest week ever with the husband out of town. He takes procrastinating to a new level. He implemented certain criteria to actually do things and get things done. "I barely even moved my body the whole day," he says. Later, JB go...
When you've been in the media business for over 20 years, you've heard every possible comment about your work, your life and your appearance -- good and bad. Jeremy Bradley answers the common question: How do you not care what people think about you? It's easier said than does, he says. But JB has a theory that it could be connected to your childhood. How does JB ignore the negative (and even the positive) to live a ...
Are companies too needy? They seem desperate for feedback and reviews 10 minutes after the transaction is completed. Plus, it seems like they want more and more personal information from you while providing less and less personal service. Jeremy Bradley goes on another rant about how "customer service ain't what it used to be." (Or is it "customer experience" now?) He talks about how companies are quick to ...
There are plenty of ways to gamble: slot machines, card tables, sports... voting for Trump. Jeremy Bradley talks about his confusion about casinos and why winning frustrates him. He takes a walk down memory lane to the time of dropping quarters into a slot machine in a room filled with cigarette smoke. (The good ol' days, right?) JB also talks about how he had to pretend he'd never been to a casino when his parents took h...
Jeremy Bradley talks about how relationships and the dating scene have changed since he was "on the market." He talks about how people have so many complaints about dating apps and relying on social media to meet people that it might be time to take it old-school. JB talks about one of his staffers starting a new relationship and how he sees that it's already headed for trouble. Why? You've gotta hear it! JB tal...
Jeremy Bradley has been a trained journalist for 20 years. Earlier this summer on the podcast, he shared his thoughts about the current state of the news media. It's largely distrusted, it's biased -- it's got any number of complaints from the mainstream public. JB talks about how viewers now trust unreliable -- and unverified -- information, over a major reporting outlet simply because of the reputation the MSM has....
Jeremy Bradley is one of the O.G. streaming broadcasters, starting in internet radio over 20 years ago. Now, thanks to podcasts and platforms like YouTube, everybody has suddenly become a broadcaster. JB takes a walk down memory lane about what it took to book celebs on his syndicated radio program and how the landscape has changed. Is it for the better? That's up for debate.
Labor Day has come and gone so you know what that means: back to work and regular life. No more summer, no more holidays, no more beach parties, no more patio parties. Done. It's all done. Sad, right? Jeremy Bradley talks about how his "retirement" life has changed how he gets through the day. Part of it: he doesn't even know what day of the week it is anymore. Do you make the most of your workday even if you do...
Back-to-school time is here! (Exclamation point or womp-womp? Depends on who you are, probably.) Jeremy Bradley talks about how he loved going back to school as a kid. Naturally, not all kids feel that way. Of course, for parents, it means they get rid of their little nose-pickers and make them someone else's problem for much of the day. But, if that's the feeling, it seems like parents can't stand being around their...
Jeremy Bradley has made no secret he couldn't care less about social media. For years, JB says he has no interest in posting constant updates about his life. Having been in newspapers and on the radio for 20 years, he recounts how he's always had a platform to tell people what's happening. Social media, however, is of no interest. JB gets a kick out of people who feel they owe it to their audience to share everything...
Jeremy Bradley is on another rant about "customer experience" nightmares. Is it just a coincidence that many companies have dropped the term "customer service" because "service" is a thing of the past? JB recaps his recent experiences dealing with businesses and compares it to his time working in retail 20 years ago. Back then, employees would "own" the interaction with a customer -- meaning,...
Another year older, another low-key celebration. Jeremy Bradley talks about how he celebrated his 43rd birthday last week. Were there fancy, expensive gifts from his husband? A big party with over-the-top decorations? How about a decent cake? No, no and no -- and that's just how JB likes it. He explains why. Later, JB talks about the odd celebrity endorsements and businesses we see. It makes you wonder if celebs really care ab...
"Another lap around the sun!" "It's my birthday!" "I'm another year older. Here's my Venmo, send me money!" You've seen all of these on social media... and Jeremy Bradley can't stand them! Today is his 43rd birthday and he laughs at people who desperately seek attention on their lap-around-the-sun day. The big birthday question is always: do you feel your age? JB explains why h...
Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Ozzy Osbourne, Hulk Hogan: it's Celebrity Death Week. Jeremy Bradley has been on the radio all week recapping the celeb passings with reaction from the entertainment world and beyond. He gives behind-the-scenes details of how breaking news is aired and the unique situation he's been in this week covering the back-to-back-to-back stories. Plus, he replays the time Hulk Hogan was on the radio with him....
You've been awake for barely 10 minutes but already you think the day is jinxed (or cursed?). Jeremy Bradley talks about a ridiculous day that only got worse. Just when he felt he couldn't get in a worse mood -- it happened. Now, he can laugh about it and it's something most people can relate to. It was one of those days where you say to yourself, "I think I'm just gonna go back to bed and sleep until tomor...
Last week, Jeremy Bradley shared that it's been 25 years since his high school graduation. After taping that show, JB had the idea to locate the home movies from his final year of school. (He was the only kid with his own camcorder at that age.) JB found the camera and appropriate cables to connect the 30-year-old technology to a modern TV. He and his husband, relived JB's graduation. They watched the video, danced to the...
Another school year is done. For Jeremy Bradley, it was 25 years ago that he graduated high school. JB reflects on his time in school and the final farewell that his graduating class had. Later, he talks about keeping in touch with classmates and if he had any interest in keeping in touch (long before the days of social media, remember). Also, have you ever looked up a former crush just to see what their life is like now? Better ye...

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
